Group.getAll will return all children in the Group, or a section of the Group, with the optional ability to test if the child has a property matching the given value or not.
Group.iterate has a new `returnType`: `RETURN_ALL`. This allows you to return all children that pass the iteration test in an array.
Groups have a new method `alignIn`. It allows you to align the Group within another Game Object, or a Rectangle. You can specify one of 9 positions which are the new position constants such as: `Phaser.TOP_LEFT` or `Phaser.CENTER` (see docs for the complete list). The Groups are positioned based on their child bounds, which takes rotation and scaling into consideration. You can easily place Groups into the corners of the screen, or game world, or align them within other Sprites, using this method.
Groups have a new method `alignTo`. It allows you to align a Group to the side of another Game Object, or a Rectangle. You can specify one of 11 positions which are the new position constants such as: `Phaser.TOP_LEFT` or `Phaser.LEFT_BOTTOM` (see docs for the complete list). The Groups are positioned based on their child bounds, which takes rotation and scaling into consideration. You can easily align Groups next to other Sprites using this method.
Group.onChildInputUp is a new Signal that you can listen to. It will be dispatched whenever any immediate child of the Group emits an `onInputUp` signal itself. This allows you to listen for a Signal from the Group, rather than every Sprite within it.
Group.onChildInputOver is a new Signal that you can listen to. It will be dispatched whenever any immediate child of the Group emits an `onInputOver` signal itself. This allows you to listen for a Signal from the Group, rather than every Sprite within it.
Group.onChildInputOut is a new Signal that you can listen to. It will be dispatched whenever any immediate child of the Group emits an `onInputOut` signal itself. This allows you to listen for a Signal from the Group, rather than every Sprite within it.
Group.addAt has been refactored to be a simple call to `Group.add`, removing lots of duplicate code in the process.
Group.create has a new optional argument `index` which controls the index within the group to insert the child to. Where 0 is the bottom of the Group. It also now makes proper use of `Group.add`, cutting down on more duplicate code.
Group.createMultiple now returns an Array containing references to all of the children that the method created.
Group.getFirstDead, Group.getFirstAlive and Group.getFirstExists all have new optional arguments: `createIfNull`, `x`, `y`, `key` and `frame`. If the method you call cannot find a matching child (i.e. getFirstDead cannot find any dead children) then the optional `createIfNull` allows you to instantly create a new child in the group using the position and texture arguments to do so. This allows you to always get a child back from the Group and remove the need to do null checks and Group inserts from your game code. The same arguments can also be used in a different way: if `createIfNull` is false AND you provide the extra arguments AND a child is found then it will be passed to the new `Group.resetChild` method. This allows you to retrieve a child from the Group and have it reset and instantly ready for use in your game without any extra code.
Group.physicsSortDirection is a new property allowing you to set a custom sort direction for Arcade Physics Sprites within the Group hash. Previously Arcade Physics used one single sort direction (defined on `Phaser.Physics.Arcade.sortDirection`) but this change allows you to specifically control how each and every Group is sorted, so you can now combine tall and wide Groups with narrow and thin in a single system.
